My Place in Poptropica: Golden Feather

Slanted Fish

This is a guest post from Golden Feather sharing their My Place in Poptropica story, which is all about one’s Poptropica journey. Enjoy!

Hi, I’m Golden Feather, and this is My Place In Poptropica.

I first started playing Poptropica around 2017, when I was 6 or 7. I saw it in an ad, and so I decided to try it out. I figured out a lot of the islands, but I could never figure out Red Dragon Island (based on Magic Tree House). I really liked Spy Island, and this was back when you could customize off NPCs, so I had a lot of fun with that.

Fish Out of Water: The pond outside this hut isn’t finished yet.

I actually still have access to my first account, where my name was Icy Shell. (I was a sucker for mysterious names.) 

Around 2020, my account stopped working, so I had to make my current one. So now I am Golden Feather.

Poptropica was a big part of my childhood, and I am so glad I decided to click on that Poptropica ad that fateful day in 2017 (or maybe it was 2016?).  I even got my lil bro into Poptropica now!

I always dreamed of winning the costume contest, and being rich in credits. I have achieved the credit dream, but not the costume one… yet.

World Warriors: Welcome back to the stage of history.

Thank you for reading.

My Place in Poptropica: Fearless Goose

Slanted Fish

This is a guest post from Fearless Goose sharing their My Place in Poptropica story, which is all about one’s Poptropica journey. Enjoy!

Hi guys, I’m Fearless Goose and this is my first ever blog post.

2019 | A blue book

It was a normal day in 2019 during school when I saw a blue book titled Poptropica: The Official Guide. When I got home, the first thing I did was check out Poptropica. I was 7 at the time, so I don’t remember the account name sadly.

I was so excited to play, and the first map I played was Mission Atlantis, Episode 1. But being so young, after facing the first challenge, I ragequit for a month.

Hot Seat: This outfit will go straight to the dome.

2020 | Take two

The second time I played Poptropica was around 2020, a few months before Flash was discontinued at the end of the year. I played a few maps, but I didn’t really like the game, because for my 7-year-old brain, it was very hard.

2024 | Resolution

This year, one of my resolutions is to play games from my childhood, one of them being Poptropica. I was heartbroken to find out about most of the islands being removed, but happy they were a part of my childhood. I went from ragequitting to easily beating all of the remaining islands. I also enjoyed playing with my interesting character.

Well that’s my story. And if you have free time, just write your story. To see how to send in your story, click here.

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 18: A Late Night Chat

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Hiya there! As you have guessed, it’s Magic Kid, back with the next episode in my fanfiction: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! If you have no idea what’s going on and want to start from the beginning, read the first episode here. But if you only just missed the last episode, catch that real quick quick right here.

Have fun reading this! (Y’all I feel so evil right now… >:D)

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Eighteen: A Late Night Chat

It was midnight. The darkness swallowed the island, just as Joe Puddy once swallowed those blueberries. The black clouds that constantly hung over the island were invisible against the starless sky.

The main city of Zomberry Island was dark. The only thing you could see was the occasional yellow eye from a wandering zombie. Groans and moans echoed in the fallen city, like some sort of eerie, off-key song of sorrow.

That was what the main city looked like, but if you went over a huge wall near the edge, you would see something far more interesting than a city of zombies. It looked like the grounds of a sinister hospital, dark buildings with windows that glowed purple, and occasionally green. People in neat suits, lab coats, or modern-core armor walked briskly with purpose from location to location.

Below all this in a prison with concrete walls and floors, the three friends waited in their cell. Waiting, waiting, waiting. What they were waiting for, they were unsure about. The note was vague but promised answers. It was the only hope they had.

Hawk (whispering)

Why hasn’t someone come? I would’ve thought that someone would be here by now.

Stone (whispering too)

Yeah, they said “tonight”, they didn’t say what time. It’s not like we have a clock in here, anyway.

Birdy (also whispering)

They can’t be much longer.

Poptropica Fan Movie: Pirates, Camera, ACTION! 🏴‍☠️🎥 Part 1

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Calling all Poptropica fans (and everyone who knows Poptropica, for that matter)! After a whole year of swashbuckling sequel production comes the feature film you’ve all been waiting for: “Pirates, Camera, ACTION!” And with it comes a big surprise: during production, the movie had gotten so long that I decided to split it into multiple parts!

…So, while I continue to press on with Part 2, Part 1 is now playing with two versions. Here’s the original with silent dialogue:

And here’s the one with audible dialogue. Plus, scroll down to read the blurb of “Pirates, Camera, ACTION!”

In this stupendous sequel to “Battle Morale”, Invisible Ring returns with a forgotten pirate quest. With it comes shipwrecks, shiny souvenirs, swashbuckling competition, and suspense never before seen in Poptropica!

With her faithful first mate by her side, this pirate Poptropican sets out to find the most monumental treasure ever buried in the sands of Poptropica… before the sands of time run out, that is.

So spread the word! Around the clock, and around the all-time most cherished island world, the race for the most monumental treasure of Poptropica is ON! Don’t miss it.

Night Watch: It’s no small decision to take the black.

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy watching her full-length Poptropica fan movie, Battle Morale!

Fanfic: Seven Systems 🪐 Part 2: Uneasy Alliance

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by HeartOfEnder. Enjoy!

Happy 2024 to everyone! This year so far has already been a wild ride for us Poptropicans, from membership essentially removed from the game, to the chaotic shutdown hoax from last month, the community going crazy, and Poptropica moving to Coolmath Games. It’s definitely been a wild ride of events considering we’re only one month into 2024. 

Here’s Part 2 of my fanfic, Seven Systems. If you read my Baron theory posts from 2022 (here and here), then everything mentioned here should be familiar to you. Be sure to catch Part 1 here if you haven’t yet!

“Tempest” by HeartOfEnder

THE SEVEN SYSTEMS
Part Two: Uneasy Alliance
(Continued from Part 1)

TEMPEST is dragged down into a dark room, so dark she couldn’t even see your own hands in front of you. In the darkness, she could hear the sound of engines running and the airship moving up, as if it was taking off right this second…

TEMPEST:

Wait! Where’s Amelia? What do you want with me? 

There’s no answer. TEMPEST lets out a low-pitched growl, her ears twitching to catch any and all sound around her. Most of the sound was covered up by the loud engines, but there seemed to be another sound hiding from her. A twinkle of magic. 

TEMPEST: 

Where are you? 

The yellow eyes from earlier appeared in front of her. TEMPEST picked up a chair that happened to be nearby and threw it at the pair of eyes. There was a loud roar that followed shortly after, and the darkness dispelled to reveal—
